Experienced Squad in this week.
Experienced Squad in this week. The Pie's have put in quite an experienced squad this weekend to vs the Saints at MC Labour Park on Friday afternoon.While there are virtually 'no names' in Shannon Cox, Ryan Cook, Brad Dick, Alan Toovey and Daniel Nicholls. High draft pick Nathan Brown will play his second game for the pies after picking up 8 disposals against the roos. It will also be interesting to see how new recruits Chris Bryan and Paul Medhurst go this week.There are also the likes of Buckley, Clement, Wakelin, Burns, Fraser and Presti'. Four players still need to be dropped so dont be suprised if a couple of the 'older' players are rested.Burns ended up with 29 disposals and 14 marks last week so it will be good to see if the 'war horse' still has got it in him. Pendlebury also impressed with 29 disposals and it will be interesting to see if there are early signs of some needed consistency for him this season. The to Scotts' are set to fire so watch out St. K.Bucks will be on a high after accepting the offer to captain for his ninth successive season and we should see a good game from him with probable limited game time.Looking at the Collingwood side you would be excused for thinking that they would be slight favourites in a pre-season match against a side that is known for its injuries but looking at the Saints side there is the likes of Gehrig, Ball, Dal Santo, Harvey and Milne. It will also be interesting for all involved to see how Shane Birss and Jayden Attard go in their second game for the club.So there is plenty to look forward to for supporters of both sides. But I think collingwood should get over the line is this game.Tip: Collingwood 16 points.
